Sovakia takes their airsoft seriously
 

On another forum:

"my brother was on a big airsoft action over here in Slovakia. and somehow they managed to get the slovak army involved, which brought the T-72 Moderna with them. here's the pictures:"

They probably knew some high ranked people.

Sigh, must be nice! If only in Canada we could pull off stuff like that!

BTW, anyone notice in the first pic the barrel of the tank is painted orange? Must be imported from the US. :lol:

T72 AND what looks like a T55... hot diggity. Hopefully they had a good scenario going, otherwise having two tanks driving around in a scrim is kind of..... silly if they dont do anything... but i guess cool for atmosphere.

We could if we could just buy some army officer to let us use some active assets, as it were. I here that money can get you ANYTHING at all in the former East-Bloc countries.

If you could still bring in de-comm tanks like some folks in Northern AB have already done, I'd selll my Honda in a heartbeat.

My wife would really love that, too.

It would make for a cool mil-sim, though.

mcguyver, you are right about money part :)
It's normal for that part of Europe. Military and police can be hired for an event. Russians almost always use soldiers and real weapons in their war movies.
I have a DVD with big game from Russia, they paid for vehices, drivers, cops and whole bunch of other stuff.
Another airsoft video I have got army helicopter in it. Players paid for that, plus they rented military training facility.

We should go there and play, just for the hell of it.

I'll practice my Russian, maybe in 20 years I'll learn to speak it. By then I'll have enough money to rent some MIG's and Sukhoi's as well.

Slovakia is a small country.

My uncle's cousin's girlfriend's granfather's friend is the Gerneral.
Lets borrow a tank....
Anything is possible in Europe :D

Must've been a fun game! :cheers:
Looks serious

There's a chick on top of the T72.

That looks kickass....

Have to wonder how much they used the TI, lol. Ghillie suit schmillie suit, 'that bush is glowing black'.

that looks dangerous...if one of those guys falls face first in front of that moving tank...ha..i dun even wanna imagine

if Canada did that, there would be like a 5 hour safety brief before anything even happened. that and ya, its Canda, dont think its gonna happen for an airsoft game. but it would be extremely cool to see

Lol. In Canada people are more afraid of being responsible for their actions than they are of being hurt or maimed. In other parts of the world that aren't as 'enlightened' as us, people seem to be responsible for their own actions and choices. Lol, which one of us is the more socialist?

Comrades in Arms needs a T-72 :(
